Detailed Description
Referring to the drawings, wherein like reference numbers refer to like elements throughout the various views, fig. 1 shows an engine 12 that includes a plurality of mesh screens 50 arranged in a mesh screen assembly 38 such that each of the mesh screens 50 covers an air inlet 34. The engine 12 also includes a propeller assembly 14, a housing 16, a pair of exhaust pipes 22, and a mounting block 28. In the illustrated embodiment, the engine 12 is a turboprop aircraft engine. In other embodiments, the engine 12 may be configured for use in marine and industrial applications.
Referring now to fig. 2, a section of the mesh assembly 38 is shown such that an example mesh 50 is presented in plan view. The mesh screen 50 includes a frame 53 configured to support a mesh assembly 70. In the illustrated embodiment, the frame 53 is a tubular structure and is configured to support a mesh 55. The mesh 55 is configured to allow air from outside the engine 12 to pass through the air inlet 34 and into the air inlet duct 32 while preventing Foreign Object Debris (FOD) from entering the air inlet duct 32 (see fig. 3).
The netting assembly 70 also includes a first layer 73 of first layer tubes 74 positioned offset from and in contact with a second layer 83 of second layer tubes 84. The first and second layers 73, 83 are positioned relative to each other such that the first and second layers of tubes 74, 84 intersect to define a plurality of intersections 92. Tubes 74 and 84 are cross-members configured to block FOD. With continued reference to fig. 2 and 5, a plurality of mesh screen openings 94 are defined by portions of the first layer of tubes 74 and the second layer of tubes 84 and the intersections 92. The openings 94 are sized such that FODs exceeding a predetermined size and shape cannot pass through.
The relative positions of the first layer 73 and the second layer 83 may vary from embodiment to embodiment. In some embodiments, first layer 73 and second layer 83 are not offset and are on the same plane. In other embodiments, the first layer 73 and the second layer 83 are spaced apart from each other. In yet other embodiments, there may be more than two layers, and some layers may be in contact with each other and some layers may be spaced apart from each other.
In addition, the number of openings 94 in each mesh screen 50 is also selected to allow a predetermined air flow through the mesh screen 50. It is believed that the aerodynamically efficient tubular structure of a portion of the mesh screen 50 may provide additional strength at a lighter weight than provided by a similarly sized solid member.
Referring now to fig. 4, there is shown in radially expanded view a mesh screen assembly 38 comprising a partial section of a plurality of struts 31. The mesh screens 50 are radially distributed around the engine 12, and each of the mesh screens 50 is positioned over an associated air inlet 34 and air inlet duct 32. The air inlet duct 32 is defined by the struts 31.
The tubes 74 and 84 are configured such that their respective cross-sections are not circular, but are aerodynamically shaped, and therefore, aerodynamically efficient. As used herein, the term "aerodynamic shape" refers to the shape of an object: it is configured to pass through air such that not as much turbulence and/or air resistance is generated around the object as is the case when the object is generally circular (such as a circular wire). As used herein, the term "aerodynamically efficient" refers to the characteristic that the ratio of air resistance to thickness or diameter is less than that of a structure having a generally circular cross-section of an object, such as a circular wire. Generally, the tubes 74 and 84 in a single embodiment have the same external shape as shown in fig. 3, but it should be understood that the shapes of the tubes 74 and 84 may be mixed within a given mesh screen 50. As can be seen in fig. 3 and 6-10, aerodynamically efficient shapes may vary from embodiment to embodiment, and may be shapes other than those described herein.
One aerodynamically efficient shape for subsonic speeds is a tear drop shape, as illustrated by the cross-section of tube 174 shown in fig. 7. The tear drop shape is symmetric about an axis extending from the circular front to the tapered tip. Another aerodynamically efficient shape is the symmetrical anterior and posterior diamond shape of tube 274 shown in fig. 8 with narrow noses and tails. A third aerodynamically efficient shape is the airfoil illustrated by tube 374 and shown in fig. 9. The tube 374 has a convex side that curves away from an opposite concave side as shown. Another variation of the airfoil shape is shown in fig. 10, where tube 474 is a truncated airfoil with a smaller curvature on the concave side and a rounded tail as compared to tube 374. For sub-sonic velocities, the most aerodynamically efficient shape is the teardrop shape.
The foregoing has described an apparatus for providing an aerodynamically efficient FOD mesh screen. Due to the aerodynamic efficiency of the FOD screens described above, they provide protection with less energy waste. Such mesh screens may be used in any machine or application that requires a FOD-free fluid, such as air and other gases or liquids. Such other applications include IC engines, fans, cooling water, oils, and the like. All of the features disclosed in this specification (including any accompanying claims, abstract and drawings), and/or all of the steps of any method or process so disclosed, may be combined in any combination, except combinations where at least some of such features and/or steps are mutually exclusive.
Each feature disclosed in this specification (including any accompanying claims, abstract and drawings) may be replaced by alternative features serving the same, equivalent or similar purpose, unless expressly stated otherwise. Thus, unless expressly stated otherwise, each feature disclosed is one example only of a generic series of equivalent or similar features.
The invention is not limited to the details of the foregoing embodiment(s). The invention extends to any novel one, or any novel combination, of the features disclosed in this specification (including any accompanying novel points, abstract and drawings), or to any novel one, or any novel combination, of the steps of any method or process so disclosed.
